PLC systems consists of three division
1. Input section – Consists of pushbuttons, switches and sensors which
are connected to specific input addresses in the program. They
transfer address information to the processing section
2. Processing section –The microprocessor receives the input signals
from input sections and executes the information (called instructions)
in the software program and sends the processed signals to output
section
3. Output section –Takes the signal from processing section and modify
the signal from the processor to operate output devices connected to
specific output addresses.
